Booklet 14:
The Complete 21-Bed Biointensive Mini-Farm

1986, 39 pp , Language: English
Currently it takes a minimum of 10,000 square feet to feed one person in the
U.S., and often 16,000 square feet to feed one person in the Third World.
This booklet gives a step-by-step approach on how to explore sustainably
growing all your food, a small income, and compost crops in as little as
2,100 square feet. Assumes familiarity with our basic books How to Grow More
Vegetables, Backyard Homestead, and One Circle.

This past spring (1996), Center volunteer and apprentice program graduate
Albie Miles began growing all his own food. From planting the first
seedlings to laying in the last cover crops, he kept careful records of what
he grew, what he ate, his labor, and his yields. Between April and October,
he restricted his diet almost entirely to food from his "nutrition garden,"
which is located on a portion of the raised-bed garden site at the Center's
25-acre UCSC (University of California, Santa Cruz) Farm.
